• Update VMware tools and hardware of txt file

  need to update the vmware tools more material on a cluster of virtual machines to txt file

  So I have

  Get-contexte.\vms.txt | % {update-tools $_ - Runasync}

  Then I'll check before virtual machines in virtual machine material

  Get-content.\vms.txt | % {get - vm $_} | Select ' Name,@{N='ToolStatus; E={$_. {{ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsStatus}}

  
  

  If they are ok,

  
  

  Then I'll make the material

  get-content.\vms.txt | % {set - vm -vm $_-version V9-confirm: $false}

  
  

  
  

  is there a better way to put it together in a script?
  

  
  

  It is ok, but not fully automated.

  So that the process is fully automated, you could do something like this

  $vms = get-Content.\vms.txt

  # Update VMware tools

  $taskTab = @ {}

  Update-tools - VM $vms - RunAsync | %{

  $taskTab.Add ($_.) ID, $null)

  }

  # Wait until all tasks are completed

  While ($taskTab.Count - not 0) {}

  $keys = $taskTab.GetEnumerator () | %{

  $status = get-task-Id $_. Key

  if($Status.) State - only ' works') {}

  $_. Key

  }

  }

  $keys | %{

  $taskTab.Remove($_)

  }

  sleep 5

  }

  # Update HW

  Set-VM - vm $vms - V9-confirm Version: $false

• Updated VMware vCenter Operations Manager tools

  Hello everyone, I just use Citrix Xenserver to VMware vCenter with Operations Manager 5.8.4.  I've looked everywhere and cannot find an answer to this.  Is it possible to update VMware tools in the vCOPS TIME?  I just started my new environment with v8 of Veeam backup and he lets know me that VMware tools are outdated.  The only reason why I ask because, coming from Citrix Xenserver v6.2, whenever a device from the virtual computer is provided by Citrix, you're stuck with the tools provided in this unit until they update the device.

  If it's good to update the VMware tools, it's as simple as opening the console to each virtual machine in the vApp and he tell the ' Install/Upgrade Vmware Tools?  Or is there a more complicated step?

  Thank you

  Brett

  As far as I KNOW, the VMware tools upgrade is not recommended on vCops.

  This breaks the device and you can ignore the message of the VMware tools obsolete.

• Update VMware Tools on specific servers

  Hello

  I developed the following script, using various sources, I found on the internet, which I run from the virtual Center Server to update VMware tools on a number of servers:

  ' $insParm = "/ s v" /qn REBOOT = ReallySuppress "'
  
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Configure the variables
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Host name of the server #VM
  $VMServer = "06W8F5VC01".
  #User account to connect to the virtual infrastructure:
  $username = "root".
  
  #Directory path to the list of targets of VM.
  $updList = get-Content "C:\users\jmilano-adm\desktop\serverlist.txt".
  
  Write-Host "Serverlist: ' $updList
  write-host
  
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Connect to the VM Server
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # $server = to connect-VIServer-Server $VMServer - User $username
  $server = to connect-VIServer-Server $VMServer
  #Search for specific VM in the production cluster:
  #$folder = get-file-name "Financial Hosts' #Target financial Hosts file in the VM Infrastructure Client console
  $cluster = get-Cluster-name 'MEL_Cluster_01 '.
  
  Write-Host "cluster Var: ' $cluster
  
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Main()
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  foreach ($uVM to $updList)
  
  {
  $vm = get-VM-name $uVM - location $cluster
  
  #$VM.name
  write-host "
  write-host "host to upgrade:" $VM.name
  
  #$uVM.UpgradeTools_Task ($insParm)
  UPDATE-TOOLS - VM $VM. Name - RunAsync - NoReboot
  
  write-host "
  write-host "host has been improved.
  
  #Wait 30 seconds before you start another task update
  Start-sleep - s 30
  }

  I tested the script and it works very well, but what I want to do is change it so that it performs the following:

  * Check this box when the line read from the ServerList.txt file is empty. If Yes, read the next line.

  * Check the virtual server to verify that the VMware Tools is indeed obsolete. If so, update.

  * Check if the server has no VMware tools. If it is not the case, install the latest version.

  To create a log file on the server on which the script is run.

  * Check if the installation was successful in fact. Add this information to the log file.

  Pls know me what changes I need to run the script to reflect the foregoing. Thank you

  Thinking about your questions. Here it is:

  
  #* Checks the virtual server to verify that the VMware Tools is indeed out of date. If so, update it. 
  
   foreach($vmItem in $vm) {
    if($vmItem.extensiondata.guest.toolsStatus -ne "toolsOK"){
     #Possibilities:
     # - toolsOk
     # - toolsOld
     # - toolsNotRunning
     # - toolsNotInstalled
  
     write-host "Vmware Tools is Not ok, upgrading...";
     UPDATE-TOOLS -VM $vmItem.Name -RunAsync -NoReboot
  
    }else{
     write-host "Vmware Tools Ok, no need to upgrade";
    }
  
   }
  #* Check if the server does not have VMware Tools. If it does not, install the latest version.
   I think the earlier script will work fine to this condition. Please tell, if not.
  
  #* Create a log file on the server which the script is being run.
   You can use the Measure-object cmdlet to see how long it took to run the script.
  
  #* Verifies if the installation actually succeeded. Add this information to the log file.
   After the Measuring, you can query again the Vmware Tools Status or create a looping to try more times till Vmware tools is readed as OK

  Hello

  I want to update vmware-tools on specific host esx with a scheduled task.

  It seems that the cmd needs more arguments, but I cannot find anywhere that I should or Arguments that you can use for this cmd.

  doooooh! reading too fast! You are right!!!

  I tried right now option. Inside vimsh, no problem, it works ok and gives what is supposed to output.

  I have run the command from the shell I non-interactive mode and gives the same error!

  I'll give it a glance, because it is not the first parameter that I can't change vimsh...

• License of VMWARE ACS

  Hello

  I would like to know how the ACS VMWARE license 5.X service ties to the machine.

  Any comment is appreciated.

  Rama

  Hi Richard,

  Technically you will succeed maybe install the same license on two different servers, but this would be like having an illegal copy of the license on a different server: a license is for a single server only.
  In addition, if ACS detects the same license installed on another server, it will be able to create a deployment distributed with this server, for example.

  Kind regards

• 12.0.0 Workstation install fails on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 (4.4.0 - 28 generic) [service failing vmmon; updated vmware kernel module]

  Hi guys,.

  I'm really excited to go with VMware Workstation on a new install of Ubuntu (16.04).  Planning watch GNS3 VMs and vagabond for Docker VMs integration among other things.  Since the two vmware workstation and linux/ubuntu are mature, I really expected that I would have any problem with the installation.

  I was a bit dismayed when the 12 workstation installation failed on a new installation of 16.04.  It seems that the VMware Kernel Module Updater step and specifically the Virtual Machine Monitor is the problem.

  Can someone help with the steps required for a successful installation of 12 Workstation on Ubuntu 16.04 please?

  Details of my attempt and a quick fix to follow.

  Please help, thanks!

  Greg

  Hi there =)

  Just for brevity, the "Monitor" is in fact what we call the hypervisor itself. We call the LCD screens "poster".

  So it's probably an incompatibility of which is just to be around the GPU kernel module, but it could have been any kernel module.

  Thanks for sharing your success!

• Install / / update VMWare Tools without physical disk drive

  Hello

  just installed VMWare Player, then Linux Mint 17 on my desktop pc and my laptop. Worked perfectly on my desktop pc, while on the laptop when I click on install vmware tools, nothing would happen. I guess this is because the laptop is not a physical drive so I can only add a CD/DVD drive with the .iso option and then VM Player cannot load the iso required for installing the tools. Anyway, I left my office laptop the source tarball and has installed but for some reason, the vmware interface settings player says I have to update my tools in order to use 3D acceleration. Once again... I can't install the update in the usual way for so I click on install, nothing happens.

  Any ideas?

  Was able to install successfully by using this

• Updates VMWare Fusion on MAC

  I am running OSX VMWare Fusion 10.8.2, v5.0.2, Norton 5.4.1.  I am able to have other software from the internet so far. However, the merger becomes a certificate error when I try to check the updates. VMware currently has problems with updates?

  At the time current VMware Fusion 5.0.2 is the latest version of VMware Fusion and there is no update available, then stop updates and turn off in VMware Fusion preferences.

  Yes, VMware is, at the present time, problems.  Take a look on: Re: msg "certificate error occurred for the update server". When you make a VMWare Tools Download or verification of updates (which was the upper thread in this forum before you posted! )

• Update / migration ACS 4.1 to 4.2

  Hi all

  I have a few questions about the migration of a Windows ACS server.

  Currently we are running on ACS 4.1 / output 4.1 Build 23 (1)

  We have a contract of active support for the ACS 4.1 (CSACS - 4.1 - WIN - K9).

  Now, we want to switch to ACS 4.2 but it with some remarks.

  (1) we need to upgrade our contract to CSACS - 4.2 - WIN - K9?

  (2) if we have improved the contract can we download the new software ACS 4.2 of the CEC or do we need to buy the CD?

  (3) we want to install the ACS 4.2 with all latest patches on a new server, so, too, that this will be a new IP address.

  (4) do we need copy all data from ACS 4.1 to 4.2 this thanks to a restoration or a database sync of ACS 4.1?

  (5) by using an eval for ACS 4.2 and the upgrade version then licensed 4.2 ACS needs an eval version uninstall? I read this on the discussion on: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/1002944?tstart=900

  For point 4), I found that we first have to ACS4.1.1.24 before progressing on the path ACS4.2.X is that correct?

  Link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_server_for_windows/4.2/installation/guide/windows/install.html#wp1080517

  If anyone can answer this question, it would be great.

  Kind regards

  Philippe

  Philippe,

  (1) there is no need to upgrade your contract, you are entitled to GBA 4.2 If you have a valid contract for ACS 4.1.

  (2) you will need to open a TAC case and get the software published for you, you don't need to buy anything.

  (3) that is fine, install a new copy of ACS 4.2.0.124 and then import your 4.1 backup base.  After that, you can improve the new 4.2.1.15 ACS ACS patch 3.  4.2.1.15 ACS patch and 4.2.1.15.3 ACS are available on cisco.com here:

  http://www.Cisco.com/Cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=281458142&flowid=4398&softwareid=280805677

  (4) No., you can restore a 4.1.1.23 database in 4.2.0.124.

  (5) as you want to go with a new installation and upgrade of the database I want to uninstall the Eval before installing 4.2.0.124.

• Update vmware tools list .csv

  Hey guys,.

  It seems that it will work?

  # Connect to vCenter #.

  SE connect-VIServer-Server "vcenter.

  # Error handling.

  $ErrorActionPreference = "continue".

  # Source VMS to be upgraded

  $v = get-Content "C:\vms.csv".

  # Upgrades all the virtual machines in vms.csv #.

  foreach ($v in $v) {}

  Get-cluster-name 'cluster1 | Get - VM $v | Where-Object {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"} | Update-tools - NoReboot}

  # Se disconnects the vcenter #.

  disconnect-viserver-confirm: $false

  Thanks for the help, as always!

  -eric

  Depends on what the content of your CSV file looks like.

  It is for example something like

  "VMName".

  "VM1.

  "VM2.

  You must use the following line (use the column name in the property)

  Get-Cluster-name 'cluster1 | Get - VM $v.VMName | Where-Object {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"} | Update-tools - NoReboot}

  For the rest, the script seems well.

  You could possibly add the RunAsync switch to the cmdlet Update-tools , the update will run in the background.

  Hi Joseph,.

  I think my script in Re: Script to find all the VMS with dates/non installed tools will do the job.
